Pics of Repro TG Fit---Not Bad
 
3 Attachment(s)
The TG is just a little short from side-to-side. The body shop didn't pre-fit it or they could have pulled the bedsides in just a little at the top to make it better.
It looks great to see a nice clean TG with no dents, bondo, rust, bowing or other damage. If you don't have a perfect original, these are pretty good for the $$$.
Yes, it will hold 200 lbs just fine. It is close to original thickness...it is 10lbs lighter than an NOS.
...and there is one of my new GMC grills, too.

Any chance on getting the grill unplated?

Tri-plus: Everybody sells them now under different brand names.

I don't know, but it would be cheaper to get a lightly rusted original & have it blasted, if you are going to paint or powder coat it.

I put a new repro tailgate on my 67 and was unhappy with for a while because of the fit , but now all the work I did to get it to fit is history ,
I like it now and nobody even notice's it

you can fix the side to side gap's with just loosening the bolt's on the rear cross member and the bolt's down the bedside's , align it then tighten the bolt's back up !
